Coins We'd Like to See: Dodgeball

There are 29 fifty pence coin designs for the 2012 Olympics, depicting different sports from Aquatics to Wrestling. Most of them are very good and some could be better (and we'll cover those in later posts), but what other sports would we like to see?

In this series, we'll take a sport we'd like to see on an Olympics coin and do a mock-up, even if it isn't in the Olympics (yet).

The first is Dodgeball. Popularised by the film of the same name, this sport is one of quick wits, flexibility and teamwork. As Patches O'Houlihan says, "Remember the five D's of Dodgeball: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge"!

In my opinion, the epitome of the sport is someone being hit in the face with a ball. Therefore, I present to you the (not) official London 2012 Dodgeball fifty pence piece.

Hope you like it!
